Kitchen installation in Bordon

What prompts kitchen installation in Bordon?

When a Bordon kitchen needs new electrics, plumbing and tiling as well as units, one contract keeps those trades in the right order.

Landlords and sellers across Hampshire often fit a new kitchen because it is one of the first rooms buyers and tenants judge a home by. If your home is in Bordon or close by in Alton or Farnham, the same survey, quote and fitting process applies.

Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:

Base, wall and tall units fixed, levelled and secured to the wall
Panels, plinths, cornice, splashback and a final check before handover
Gas hobs connected only by Gas Safe registered engineers
Worktops cut, jointed and sealed, or templated for stone

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Bordon?

You will find Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war estate houses and thatched and brick cottages throughout Hampshire. Terraces in Southampton and Portsmouth often have a narrow back kitchen, while post-war estate houses tend to have a compact rectangular room suited to an L-shape.

Water across Hampshire is mostly hard, largely from chalk sources, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help. Dense terraced streets can be very tight for parking, and New Forest lanes and village roads may limit the size of delivery vehicle.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Bordon

Fitting a new kitchen does not need planning permission in England. Listed building consent may be needed if the building is listed, and a new vent through the outside wall of a flat may need planning permission and the freeholder's consent. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and new circuits or a new consumer unit are notifiable under Part P, so they are certified through a competent person scheme or building control. New extraction should be designed to Approved Document F rates (about 30 litres per second for a hood ducted outside), a refit should not leave ventilation worse than before, and only Gas Safe registered engineers may connect a gas hob.

Homes within the New Forest or South Downs national parks, listed cottages and conservation areas may need consent for a new extractor vent or alterations to historic features.

Before you book kitchen installation in Bordon

Keep the delivery note and plan together until the fit, so any missing parts can be reported to the supplier quickly.
Before you order a kitchen for your Bordon home, ask for a survey so the plan is checked against real measurements, not estimates.
If you live in a flat in Bordon, check building rules on working hours, lift protection and parking for the fitting van.
If the house was built before 2000, consider an asbestos survey before strip-out, especially with textured ceilings or old floor tiles.

Questions about kitchen installation in Bordon

How much does kitchen installation cost in Bordon?

Kitchen installation in Bordon typically costs £1,700 to £2,900 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only, based on prices in the South East. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Which parts of Bordon do you work in?

All of them. Our Hampshire coverage takes in the whole of Bordon, including the GU35 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Alton. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

Will you fit a kitchen I have bought myself?

Yes. We fit kitchens bought from any retailer, trade counter or online supplier, flat-pack or rigid. On the survey we check the plan, and before fitting we check the delivery against it. Missing or damaged parts are for the supplier to replace, and we tell you straight away so the fit can be re-planned.

How long does it take to install a kitchen?

Most kitchens take three to twelve days on site to fit, depending on the number of units and whether services are moving. Allow one to three weeks overall once electrics, plumbing, tiling and flooring are included, plus one to two weeks between templating and fitting if you choose stone worktops.

What order does a kitchen installation follow?

The usual sequence is strip-out, any structural work, first-fix electrics and plumbing, plastering, base and wall units, worktops, second fix of sockets, sink, tap and appliances, then splashbacks, flooring and decorating. Some floors go down before the units and some after, depending on the floor type, which we agree at the survey.
